Well I've been lurking for quite awhile. All my searches ultimately came to this site , so I figured it was best to join.
I started with the idea of reviving a 191 osprey that is currently buried in a snow bank, until yesterday when I happened upon a 1978 170. So I picked the 170 up today and already started the cleaning and planning process. But there's also  a 222 down the road that might also find its way towards my shop. I can see this is going to become a real problem.

There are a lot of us that have more than one Aquasport, so I have the bug too.

Hi, My name is Kraig from Long Island. I'm thinking about purchasing this 246 ccc (I think?) . The seller did not include year in description. Im trying to get a hold of him. I was hoping you guys could help me out. It has a 200 hp Black Max Merc. Is that under powered?? How much does boat weigh? what year were they made? What to check for when I go look?? Thanks! The seller is asking 5k

Wow a  CCC! (Center Console Cuddy). Nit a very common model. Aquasport was ahead of its time with this one... Center console for the guys... cuddy for the wife and kids. It's basically a CCP (center console professional) with a cuddy added up front. A 200 hp Merc. should push it pretty good.

Joining the site to glean the info!  Looking at a 95 200 Osprey.

I've only ever owned a small skiff in my teens.  But I've worked on trawl boats, fishing boats, tugs, etc.  Rode plenty of launch boats...

Hello!  FNG (friendly new guy) here.  I recently purchased an 86' 170 Osprey and she is in fairly good shape but she needs a few upgrades.  I will likely solicit advice as I go along.  Glad to be here.  Thanks
